Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Klassen, Jon (illustratore). Product DescriptionThis is a story about a duck and mouse who get swallowed by a wolf, and then decide to live in his belly.Early one morning a mouse met a wolfand was quickly gobbled up.When a woeful mouse is swallowed by a wolf, he quickly learns he is not alone: a duck has already set up digs, and, boy, has that duck got it figured out! Turns out its pretty nice in there, with delicious food and elegant table settings, courtesy of the wolfs unchecked gluttony. And theres something even better: no more fear of being eaten by a wolf! In fact, life is pretty good, until a hunter shows up. . . . With a nod to traditional fables and a wink to the reader, the award-winning Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen offer a tale of cooperation and creative cuisine that is sure to go down easy.From School Library JournalK-Gr 2When a little mouse gets gobbled up by a hungry wolf, all seems lost until he makes an unexpected friend in the belly of the beast: a duck that may have been swallowed but has "no intention of being eaten." Indeed, life is not so bad inside the wolf. There's a comfortable bed, a grand dining room table, and a fully functional chef's kitchen. As the duck explains to the bewildered mouse, "You'd be surprised what you find inside a wolf." No longer do these small creatures worry about being devoured; they can sit back and relax in their confinement. They even conspire to get the wolf to down some good wine and cheese. Their wining and dining soon gives their host a terrible stomachache, attracting the attention of a hunter. Suddenly, all three lives are at risk and the new friends must act quickly to save themselves-and their safe and swanky new digs. Barnett's shrewd wit and subtle sense of irony come across expertly in short, snappy sentences, while the repeated refrain of "Oh woe!" and the pourquoi-tale ending lend the story a folkloric tone. Klassen's mixed-media art has a collagelike quality; the main characters and set pieces appear as cutouts placed against richly textured backgrounds of deep browns and black, with golden touches of pink and ocher, adding to the sense that readers are watching a dramatic play unfold. VERDICT Reminiscent of classic animal fables, with this winning team's signature humor and charm, this is a first purchase for any picture book collection.-Kiera Parrott, School Library JournalReviewThe Wolf, the Duck, and the Mouse[is] funny, with morbid senses of humor that will hit Halloween sweet spotsIt turns out the wolfs gut harbors the best party in town, and some readers sympathies might shift toward the carnivore-aided by the great Jon Klassens droll paintings; no one does perturbed animals better.-The New York Times Book ReviewThe storys timeless, fable-like feel is bolstered by its traditional cast and old-fashioned fairy-tale language: Oh, woe! cries the wolf. Oh shame! Life can turn the tables pretty quickly, Barnett suggests, and only those whose outlooks are flexible will flourish. I may have been swallowed, says the duck, but I have no intention of being eaten. A rare treasure of a story, the kind that seems to have been around forever.-Publishers Weekly (starred review)Barnett and Klassens collaborations are always good for a laugh, and this one banks heavily on absurdity, to great effect. Klassens mixed-media artwork transforms the wolfs interior into a delightfully domestic scene, and Barnetts writing is peppered with amusing details. This original pourquoi tale will make a fantastic choice for storytimes, as kids will want to dance along with the duck and mouse-when theyre not rolling in the aisles, of course.-Booklist (starred review)Barnetts shrewd wit and subtle sense of irony come across expertly in short, snappy sentences, while the repeated refrain of Oh woe! and the pourquoi-tale ending lend the story a folkloric tone.Reminiscent of classic animal fables, with this winning teams signature humor and charm, this is a first purchase.
